This is quite possibly the bioggest joke I have ever had to uninstall from my pc. It's a complete rip off as it attempts to dumb down every single result as if people building their own PC's aren't capable of consuming "grown up" statistics such as random seek or sequential transfer rate. Oh, no. For that, you have to purchase the "professional" version which costs 995 dollars. This has to be be, bar none, the largest waste of money you could possibly engage in on steam.

Even if your goal is to compare tuning in a specific arena- such as storage or gpu overclocking with the community, YOU CAN'T. You can only compare "gaming scores" or some other version of a generic conglomeration of all scores put together.

COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY- especially if your goal is to tune specific area of your pc as this software does not grant you the insight required to do so. For example, my storage score is 5000. Ok great... that isn't helpful to me if I am attempting to tune my filesystem to large file transfers as it provides no insight into how that score was compiled.

DON'T BE FOOLED. Upgrade link from 3D Mark Demo to upgrade to 3D Mark Advanced Edition leads you here! I knew this was a larger more comprehensive product, but the link made me believe that PC Mark 8 included 3D Mark, reinforced by an erroneous link. It DOES NOT!!!! Unless you really want to benchmark your office apps, this is NOT what you are looking for!!!!!

Did not spend a lot of time with the software as it was not what I was looking for. This is definitely not the product I thought it was going to be.
